There’s nothing better than sinking your teeth into a juicy peach in the summer. If you haven’t had that pleasure yet, we’ve got some fresh alternatives.

• Adriaen Coorte sets a dramatic spotlight on his Peaches, exposing the blush pink tendrils on creamy, pale yellow skin. Although lavish vanitas displays are the most well-known of the Dutch golden age still lifes, Coorte’s depictions of market vegetables are, for me, more impressive. He can focus on three peaches, a bunch of asparagus, or a handful of gooseberries and render them with the complexity of a dramatic play.

• This Tumbler with its peach pink glass swirl dates back to 1885 England.

• This Porcelain Dish dates back to 18th century China and has the quirky combination of bats and peaches.
